‘Fans won’t stop pelting me with lemons thanks to my hit song’ Indie rock icons The Wombats have had some huge tracks but there’s one that takes ‘hit song’ to a new level as it’s inspired fans to lob lemons at them.
‘I get a lot of lemons to the solar plexus during festival season,’ lead singer Matthew Murphy, better known as Murph, confirmed to Metro.
This new record is intentionally not as ‘tight’ as previous Wombats albums have sounded, leaning into the ‘f**k ups’ that only a human can make.
‘I feel like I probably saw it coming, well, figuratively and literally,’ he joked when asked if The Wombats had anticipated the response.
As the main songwriter for The Wombats, Murph has shared a lot of his past through the music from anxiety spirals to issues with alcohol.
